In even a simple AR:
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY SALES SEATS RCOST DCOST LENGTH
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML
END

when you try and sort (ascending or descending) on the length field, the sort breaks, giving a badly sorted list. Anyone encountered this before?

Something to do with length maybe. Multiply length by 10 and it's okay. Real example is I8
and when sorted ascending becomes:
  3 
  4 
  6 
  7 
  5 
 51 
 52 
 54 
101  
102  
104  
105  
103  
151  
201  
202  
203  
218  
251  
252  
301  
306  
307  
302  
305  
351  
352  
353  
356  
357  
354  
401

This is on 7.6.4.

We have 762. Using your example, all columns sort properly except for lenth where the list is jumbled as you have described.

Interesting. This does not seem to be a problem on 7.1.6. All sorts are handled properly.

Alan,

Can you open a case on this, please? Looks like it is broken in 7.6.
